The United States is one of the few countries in the world in which most companies require their employees to submit to an invasive drug screening. Unfortunately, the land of the free does not live up to its name when it comes to employees' personal lives. The worst part about this policy is that people that smoke marijuana for medical use are discriminated against the most. Nearly half the states in the country allow medicinal marijuana use. This has created a situation in which people can be fired from their jobs for using medicine prescribed to them by their doctors. Employee drug screening is most effective at catching pot smokers, instead of catching hard drug users. This is a tried and true guide to beating drugs tests 100% of the time with pot in your system.
Impossible to Flush, You Must Disguise
Hard drugs like PCP, meth, cocaine, and opiates only stay in the system for a maximum of 72 hours, and it is usually more like 48 hours. How long does weed stay in your system? That all depends on how much you smoke. The answer for most people is that weed stays in your system around a month. However, heavy smokers and people that have excess body fat can test positive for THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) for 2 or more months after they stop smoking. The record for pot staying in the system is over three months. Therefore, it takes a long time to pass a drug test after stopping smoking. Contrary to widely spread disinformation, it is impossible to flush your system of THC. However, it is possible to fool the test by disguising your urine.
First Step to Beating a Drug Test Is to Stop Smoking
You must stop smoking 72 hours before the test in order for it to be foolproof. The only instance in which this method has failed is when someone smokes inside that 72 hour window. If you cannot stop smoking for 3 days, then you may have a problem.
Drink a Lot of Water to Pass Drugs Tests
The process of doing this is very simple. Consume water, and a lot of it. The trick to beating a pot drug test is to drink as much water as you can. Two hours before the test start slamming it down. You need to drink at least 32 ounces of water within two hours of the test. In this manner you will fool the drug test. It will dilute the amount of THC in your urine down to a level that will not register as a positive. Remember, the more water you drink, the better.
Fooling the Drug Test
The drug screening process does check to see if people are drinking excess water to beat the drugs tests. It does this by measuring the protein level of the urine sample. If it is very low, which it will be when you drink a lot of water, then they have reason to suspect that you are trying to cheat the urine testing. In order to avoid this suspicion, there is a very simple step. Eat very high protein foods to flood your system with protein. High protein energy bars are great for this, or you can eat a lot of meat. It is best to start this the night before, but you must begin at least a few hours before the test. Just like the water consumption, the more protein you can consume, the better.
Easy to Fool a Urine Drug Screening
As you can see, it is a very simple process to pass a drugs test conducted via urinalysis. If you are especially cautious, you can always buy a cheap drug testing kit to check if this method works for you. Hair testing and random drugs testing are more difficult animals, and it is advisable to look into products that can help you out with these extremely invasive testing methods.
